Hi @firefox4

I suggest that you re-post in 'Ask a benefits advisor' category.

I've moved this over the be benefits advisor category.

Have you applied for PIP @firefox4?

Hi @firefox4

It certainly seems that your benefits need looking at!

From the description above, I cannot tell whether or not you would seem eligible for PIP, but from the information you have given I would say that if you are eligible it probably would not be backdated.

If you have a local advice agency, I would recommend trying to get in to see someone face to face to have a full benefit check, but if this is not possible then it would certainly do no harm to make a claim for PIP - the worst they could say is no!

Best of luck with it, and do let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Kind regards,

Mary
